"Mr President, many initiatives have been undertaken, but hitherto, we have not been able to achieve equality of treatment for people with disabilities. We have only to look at the statistics on unemployment, poverty, work and education.
It also seems to me regrettable that the Communication on the European Disability Strategy does not include a women’s perspective, when women are doubly discriminated against within this group. Integrating them will give them an independent life and dignity, but it will bring innovation and quality new jobs to the European Union.
In order to go forward, we need to apply existing legislation and I thought that the only way to do this was to take action against those States which do not comply with this legislation. That is why I voted for Amendment 1, which was not adopted.
That was what people with disabilities were expecting from us. I think we have failed them, but we must continue our work in the future."@en1
